Belarusian Accused Of Blowing BAM Deprived Of Lawyer

He is in Lefortovo.

Siarhei Erameeu, who was detained in the alleged BAM train bombing case, is now in the Lefortovo detention center in Moscow. A lawyer is not allowed to see him, zerkalo.io reports.

Recall that on the evening of November 29, a freight train car lit up on the Itykit-Okushikan section during movement along the tunnel on the Baikal-Amur Mainline, which included 41 tanks with fuel, three with aviation fuel and six cars with ferrous metal.

Later, on the same site, there was a second explosion of a freight train, which was moving along a bypass road. As a result, four fuel tanks burned down, and two more were damaged. The fuel spilt over an area of 150 square meters.

Train explosions in the Severomuisk tunnel of the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) qualified as a terrorist attack.

On December 7, the FSB of Russia reported the detention in Omsk of a Belarusian citizen suspected of a terrorist attack, who "confessed to working under the control of Ukrainian special services."

At the trial, it became known that the man's name is Siarhei Erameeu, he is 52 years old, and he is from Belarus. He works as an individual entrepreneur, has two young children, and has not been previously convicted. In Russia, he does not have permanent housing. In Belarus, he was working for Naftan oil company and participated in the strike.
